It’s the character twist that leaves people gasping
Yeah, writing her out was questionable, writing her out so badly, with such little respect for the character or audience, is the real crime. It’d be like if Avengers 2 had written out Captain America with a single line of dialogue about his autoerotic asphyxiation.
Oh my God YES!!!! I didn’t I wanted this until now!!!! I want it so badly!!!!
Yeah, I was fine with them recasting Rhodey because there were more stories to tell (and wish they had recast T’Challa with Yahyab Abdul Mateen II, while we’re at it). But Ross isn’t *that* critical a character - are you really telling me the roles in CA4 and THUNDERBOLTS couldn’t have been Ctrl-Alt-Replaced with…
I wish they would’ve let General Ross die offscreen. Not out of respect to William Hurt, just because the I dislike the character. Why bother with Harrison Ford, however, when you could bring back Sam Elliot’s moustache?
And the folks behind Back to the Future 2 were so stymied by what to do with her character (after having painted themselves into a corner with the ending of the first film), they literally just had her go to sleep for the rest of the franchise.
I’ve always wondered who Shue pissed off to have her character so pointlessly destroyed in the process of writing her out (and this article seriously underplays it; Daniel doesn’t just say they broke up, but that she dumped him at prom AND wrecked his prized car from the first movie). It was great to see Cobra Kai do…
Not that I think the Austin Powers movies were any particularly high moment in the history of cinema, but I think at least there they were parodying the Bond films, where the female leads change every film with almost no explanation.
It’s good they at least recognized and admitted to how shitty it was to do that to Shue’s character, especially since it was just one in a loooong list of different movie franchises where a female character was written out/killed off-screen to give the male protagonist a new love interest to pursue (see: both of the…
Every single cop who dealt with the “unfounded” reports, or labeled them as such, all should be charged as accomplices of this piece of shit murderer.
My parents are both older than that. Makes me gulp.
he was about the same size.
Yes they do actually. Precocious and pretentious children who don’t respect adults should be dangled over trashcans and worthless parents who don’t keep their shithead children inline should be scolded for being shitty parents.
Would have been hysterical if it had happened 20 years later though.
And Chris Elliott flogged him with an extension cord.
To be fair, who hasn’t wanted to throw children into the trash?
Yeah, pointing out that some of the storylines from the previous 8 episodes were bad does not absolve them from being bad. Doesn’t matter how cute and meta it is.
“distracts from the story, which is that my life fell apart right when I was learning to be both Jen and She-Hulk. Those are my stakes, K.E.V.I.N.”
Well your argument was very persuasive.
Yeah, and I love that the stakes are so remarkably unremarkable to the point where the heroes could have all been wiped out in this mission, and it probably would have affected absolutely nothing in the greater scheme of things.
